Our pioneering ancestors certainly do deserve our appreciation. <br /><br />We have it so easy now--which is why this is such a good time for us to throw our energies into recapturing these historic databases and converting them into technology-readable and -retrievable forms. I like the fact that local genealogy societies are still in the business of capturing these old bits of information and converting them into worldwide accessible records so everyone can benefit.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-13539165016306210692012-11-04T16:23:53.358-08:002012-11-04T16:23:53.358-08:00The idea of "recovering" history by reco...The idea of "recovering" history by reconstituting records, looking more closely, and connecting the dots -- this is very exciting to me. It's like being in a detective story where the villain is death, and we discover exactly what death has done. When you speak of the 400-mile trek, I am again amazed at the persistence of our ancestors. It's a happy accident that we now have the time, and the means, to remember them as much as possible.Mariannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543003593158696611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-92207528422501648392012-11-03T12:31:15.410-07:002012-11-03T12:31:15.410-07:00There is a lot more to be found on the BLM records...There is a lot more to be found on the BLM records, as you say, but in my case I've found some names of totally unrelated people.

The details came out so clearly on the picture.<br /><br />I share your pastime of walking cemeteries. My fav is visiting some of the historic ones back east. I've found headstones for Portuguese sailors who were born in the 1500s in a cemetery on the far east side of Long Island. Fascinating what can be found in some cemeteries.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-51257911271502015942012-11-02T19:21:56.022-07:002012-11-02T19:21:56.022-07:00Yes!
